Robin Soderling seeks revenge for Roland Garros against Rafael Nadal in today’s Wimbledon quarterfinal
Robin Soderling met Rafael Nadal just over three weeks ago in the finals at Roland Garros, where he was unable to match the Spaniard despite a valiant effort. Today, he faces him in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, and will be doing whatever he can to avenge this defeat.
Nadal is the favourite to win this match, though it should be noted that Soderling has improved greatly over recent years, and is the likelier of the two to be happy that this match is being played on grass. The speed of the court should suit Soderling’s flatter groundstrokes and big serves, so Nadal will need to be near his best at least.
Although Soderling is playing well, it’s still hard to shake the memory of Nadal’s last appearance at Wimbledon, where he defeated Roger Federer in an epic final, which many claim to be the greatest Wimbledon final of all time. Nadal has been tested a few times already in recent matches, but he’s an almost unstoppable force when he’s in the zone.
This should turn out to be the kind of match that it’s hard to tear yourself away from, and a five setter may even be on the cards. This stands out as the most exciting match of the quarterfinals, and could be very decisive in determining who wins this year’s Wimbledon title.
